Frequently asked questions

What is ashwagandha root?

Ashwagandha is Withania somnifera, also called withania or Indian ginseng. This product contains organic dried root in cut form. It is different from Panax ginseng.

Is this ashwagandha powder or extract?

It is cut root. The pieces need to be simmered and strained. They do not dissolve like an instant drink, and the product has no standardised extract strength.

What does ashwagandha root tea taste like?

The flavour is earthy, woody and slightly bitter. Milk or a small amount of honey can round out the taste.

Does ashwagandha contain caffeine?

Pure ashwagandha root is naturally caffeine free. Any caffeine in a blend would come from other ingredients.

Is cut root the same as the ashwagandha used in studies?

Different studies use different preparations, often concentrated extracts. Results from those studies do not establish the effects of a cup made from this cut root.

Who should avoid ashwagandha?

Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with current or previous liver problems, or with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. It is not recommended for people with thyroid or autoimmune disorders or before surgery. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before use if you take medicines. Stop use and seek medical advice for vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, dark urine or yellowing skin or eyes.

How should I store ashwagandha root?

Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, strong odours and moisture. Use a dry spoon and follow the best before date on your pack.
